Is this copy of a Mosin M44 any good? I am wanting a truck gun and I dont want a full size Mosin so the carbine should be the answer. Do I just need to spend a little more and get an M44?

I would never mistreat a milsurp by using it as a truck gun unless it was already bubba'ed. Buy one of those 300 dollar walmart mossbergs and use that as a truck gun.
But that's what gives them character been. As long as the bore is nice I prefer my surp's rode hard looking. If you cut your finger on a piece of shrapnel that's a bonus! I need to post pics of the type 53 I just got. I'm already looking at a VN bringback T-53. They say that most of the t-53's were sent to the Vietnamese and they traded them back for SKS's after China made enough SKS's to go round.I really like your avatar! But the T53's are usually already pretty beat up.

So whats wrong with making it a truck gun?
Nothing really. But for just a few dollars more(literally) you could have a brand new bore Mossberg with modern ammo readily found anywhere. M44s and their clones really arent all that accurate even when new. Some are, most arent. I suppose the newer imports with the billboards on the receiver would be fair game.
yea but new guns arnt as cool.
Ya I know. just wrap it up and keep it from getting even more beat up. Heres a pristine Hungarian that needs counterbored. Takes about 5 minutes and a drill with 3/8 bit.
